    Very light, filigree Hampden at first. Incredibly drinkable. Towards the end then heavier and fuller-bodied. Very light mouthfeel, alcohol also super integrated. By far the best LROK I have ever drunk. The price is unfortunately on the level of the other Birds.

    Very nice LROK cask. However, fairly overpriced imho compared to other available LROKs.

    This is a lovely rum with a touch of wood and fruits from nose to finish. Slightly alcoholic straight out of the bottle but after resting for 15 minutes it settles very well. I detect a hint of nuts and marzipan. Hard to find but very good quality.

    Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden. Fruchtig, Marzipan, angenehme Säure, leichte Süße die mich an helle Weintrauben erinnert. Das ist schon gut ausbalanciert und einfach ein toller LROK. Leider zu absurden Preisen.
